The Two Richards - Recap

The scene opens with Justin waking up and making breakfast. Kate is there too and she is wearing his shirt. She thanks him for “listening” to her last night. Kate tells that she is not finding anything on David Smith, the man who got 25% of the company. Kate opens up the curtains and sees a naked man on the other side of the apartment complex. Justin tells that he knows and Kate suggests that he go talk to the man. Justin tells that he already knows that his name is Alex Brownstien, a day trader. Kate tells that she will go over and talk to the guy for him because of Justin’s wonderful “listening”. Kate gets into the office and Leo tells her that the Newmires are in the conference room along with the insurance agent Lester Marin. She asks if he has gotten anywhere on David Smith and he tells that he has not. She tells that she will get with the Newmires and he is to look for information on David Smith.

Kate meets with the Newmires and Lester and asks what they are meeting about and asks Richard to tell the story of what happened. He has Marsha retell the story of how Richard was on the sidewalk and a truck’s side mirror hit him in the head. He tells that he had surgeries, but he is doing great now. Lester tells that the insurance company has paid for all the medical bills and pain and suffering. Kate tells that Lester feels that he has made a good offer, but wants to know what is going on. Marsha explodes and tells that her husband got hit in the head by a truck and storms out of the room. Lester tells Kate that they have 24 hours to make up their minds or the deal is off. Kate talks to Leo and Leo tells that he found a contact to David Smith and he tells that he is going to come in for a meeting. She tells that she will by Marsha’s office after she talks to Justin’s naked neighbor.

She goes to Alex Brownstien’s apartment and tells that her friend across the way doesn’t like the fact that he is naked. He apologizes and tells that he will stop. Kate calls Justin and tells that everything is taken care of. Meanwhile, Jennifer from another law office comes over and Lauren is polite to her until Jennifer tries to consider allowing her firm to buy out Reed and Reed. Lauren opens the door and thanks her for coming over. Kate visits Marsha and she apologizes for leaving Kate’s office. She tells that Lester has given a pretty good offer. She asks what the issue is and Marsha tells that the Richard she knew is dead. She tells inside that Richard has changed as a person and that he is not the same man she fell in love with. Kate goes walking and finds Richard playing drums with street performers, something the old Richard would never do. She approaches him and he says hello. He tries to listen to her, but sees a hotdog stand. He crosses the street in mid-morning traffic and is almost hit several times. Richard tells that if he doesn’t act, he is going to miss the chance for life. He tells that the truck knocked the life into him.

Kate gets back to her boat and sees flowers on the stern. She calls Justin and thanks him for the flowers. However, when Justin opens his curtains, Alex is there naked. He tells that he wants his flowers back. Kate is waiting for Lester to come down so that she can talk to him when two individuals argue about one stealing the other’s lunch. She mediates and tells one of the men to make extra food and the other will pay him $9. They agree on it. Leo come in and gives Kate a piece of paper. It is from the Law Offices of David Smith’s lawyer. It says that David Smith is giving his 25% to Kate Reed. Lauren is overly jealous and walks away. However, Kate wants to know the why. Kate is thinking in her office and tells that she needs to find David Smith no matter what. Leo tells that he rescheduled the Newmires and Lester for 10. She leaves and that she will be back by 11 and Leo tells that he will schedule it for later because he knows her.

Kate visits the home of Betty and asks for her help. However, Lauren is already there. Betty tells that she will help them, but they need to work together on it and no secrets. They agree. Kate gets back to the office to find Lester in the hall. Kate goes to Richard and Marsha and asks Richard if he told Marsha about everything and he tells that he did. Kate brings in Lester to her office where two people are waiting. One friend who knew Richard before the accident and one who met him after the accident. The one before describes Richard as a quite person with no real drive while the other describes him as outgoing. Marsha tells that she fell in love with the old Richard and Richard tells that he needs a moment. Kate tells that Lester should put in more for the fact that she lost her husband for this. She walks up to Marsha, who is shocked because Richard told her that he is leaving her.

Kate tries to get in contact with Richard when Betty comes in and tells that she has a disconnected number of David Smith, but they have to wait for Lauren. She comes in and Betty shows the number. They go up to Leo and tell that he could track down the real number and Kate tries to have him tell her first. Lauren tells that Leo is fired if he doesn’t give it to the both of them. He tells that he will. Kate meets with Justin and he tells that Alex is still walking around naked and he tells that he wants to use his position and get him arrested. Kate gets a call from Leo and she tells him to text the address to her. She goes to a hotel room and Richard answers the door. He tells that Marsha doesn’t love him and he can tell. Kate tells that is not true, but can see that is a little true. Later, Justin walks out on his balcony naked and calls to Alex. He sees Justin and is offended. Justin has Kate behind the curtains telling what to say. Another neighbor sees Justin after Alex tells that he will stop. Kate locks him outside for a little bit and then lets him in. She tells “How did you like them apples”. Kate walks home and stops where Richard had the accident. She calls Marsha to meet her there tomorrow.

The next day, Marsha arrives and Kate has a picture, flowers and candles for a funeral for the old Richard. She tells that they have lost the Richard and have to say goodbye and not hold onto any anger. Richard comes up and Kate tells that she has separation papers and insurance. She tells that they can pick on and get to know each other over again or pick the separation. Kate gives Richard some money to buy Marsha some breakfast. Kate gets a phone call from Leo with Lauren tele-conference in. Leo tells the address and then when Lauren hangs up, tells that he is texting Kate some extra information on David Smith.

Lauren and Kate enter a bar and Kate asks for David Smith. The man at the bar tells that he went back East and that he has a lawyer for all the information. Lauren gives him her card and tells him to call if David shows up. They leave and Lauren gets into a cab. Kate tells that Lauren doesn’t want to share a taxi with her and she drives off. Kate waves for a cab and tells that he is driving good and goes back into the bar. She calls David Smith out and tells that the tattoo on his forearm gave him away. She asks why he gave 25% back and he is silent. She realizes that she is not going to get anything so she sits down and David realizes that she is not going anywhere either. The episode ends.
